Professor Lupin's here too? Brilliant, that's, wow. It's weird to think, isn't it? Them being our age.
[Weird and sobering, considering Professor Lupin had only just died a few days ago.
Too sobering. They can't let the shadows of their world creep up on them in this one, that's why they're here, to get out from under those shadows for a little while.
The hand on her shoulder switches to her hand and Harry enthusiastically pulls her toward the shore, there's no time like the present, right? He pauses long enough to pull off his shoes and socks and roll up his jeans to his knees, but this is his first real time going wading in an ocean, the Dursleys had certainly never gone to a beach, and he hadn't had time at school between everything happening so much all the time.
He's surprised he hadn't already done this, but he'd clearly been waiting for Hermione and hadn't realized it.]
Race you in!
[It's hardly fair at all, considering he's already running down the beach when he says it.]
